(2/22/15) After missing the 2014 season with a torn rotator cuff and labrum, Mariners pitcher Danny Hultzen was happy to go through his first bullpen session of spring training.

"It felt good to just be among the guys and able to do everything," Hultzen said, via MLB.com. "I remember last year being able to do the drills, but no throwing, and then just watching the bullpens and that kind of stuff. So it was really cool today to be part of everything."

Hultzen has dealt with injuries over the past two seasons and finally has been given a clean bill of health.

Hultzen isn't expected to be part of the Mariners' Major League rotation to start the season.

(10/1/14) Mariners starting pitcher prospect Danny Hultzen, who missed the 2014 season due to rotator cuff surgery on his left shoulder, will be shut down until spring training after throwing three times in the Instructional League, according to MLB.com. Hultzen threw 25 pitches in his last outing Tuesday.

"They said it was really impressive," general manager Jack Zduriencik said. "He feels really good and is now shut down. He’s finished for the fall. He showed an average fastball, really good curve and changeup. He was confident and his delivery is sound. So he’ll go home and come back in January and be ready for spring training."

"We were real cautious. There was some talk of putting him in the Fall League, but we’re going to back off a little," Zduriencik said. "This kid has been through a lot this year. The fact he’s been on the mound in Instructional League is enough. There’ll be a challenge for him next year regardless of how he reports physically, where is he going to be innings-wise after missing a whole year like this."
